If you are a Heath Ledger fan, and wish to learn more about him, then you will. However, as a documentary, I found it disappointing, more like a "lives of saints" treatment. Only a fleeting reference to the demons that he wrestled, and lots of gushing praise.

This was a very well done documentary. Heath was a great actor, really studied the craft and pursued it with a high competency. Highly recommend this movie to get a little insight on his life and method.

It was really great to see the journey that this person took in their life and how their hard work and talent got developed and recognised. In many ways he was lucky and he knew it, so he paid it forward to those that were important to him. It's unfortunate that his restlessness eventually consumed him, but his memory will live on in his art and the people who knew him.

I was leery of how this documentary began, with a lot of Heath Ledger's home footage, but it gets much better. The home footage was giving me flashbacks to Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, which I did not enjoy. I'm glad I stuck with this one though. I had admired Heath Ledger's acting, but I had no idea how multitalented he was. I Am Heath Ledger is a respectful and very good tribute.
